Changing the Preset Dryness Level Settings

If all of your loads on all Automatic Dry cycles are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the preset Dryness Level settings to increase the dryness. This change will affect all of your Automatic Dry cycles.

Your Dryness Level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions, or personal preference. There are 3 drying settings: 1 (factory preset dryness level),

2 (slightly dryer clothes, approximately 15% more drying time), and 3 (much dryer clothes, approximately 30% more drying time).

1.The Dryness Level settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running.

2.Press and hold the DRYNESS LEVEL button for 5 seconds. The dryer will beep, and “CF” will be displayed for 1 second followed by the current drying setting.

3.To select a new drying setting, press the DRYNESS LEVEL button again until the desired drying setting is shown. NOTE: While you are cycling through the settings, the current setting will not flash, but the other settings will flash.

4.Press START to save the drying setting.

The drying setting you selected will become your new preset drying setting for all Automatic Dry cycles.

End of Cycle Signal

End of Cycle Signal

The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.

Press CYCLE SIGNAL to adjust the sound level or turn off the signal.

NOTE: When Wrinkle Prevent is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, a tone sounds every 5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or Wrinkle Prevent ends.

Drying Rack Options

The drying rack is useful for drying items you would not necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry (for example, sweaters).

If your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model allows drying rack usage and for information on ordering, please refer to the front page of the manual or contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

The dryer rack is recommended for use with the Air Fluff cycle or with Timed Dry cycles. The dryer rack cannot be used with Automatic Cycles.
